The Fund provides grants to organizations serving people with neurofibromatosis or researching a cure for the disease as well as to those within the community coping with a terminal illness. It honors the memory of Julie Ann Robertson Cashour, who succumbed to neurofibromatosis at the age of 36.

The golf tournament’s shotgun start is scheduled for 10:00 a.m., with breakfast beginning at 8:30 a.m. The entry fee is $200.00 per person, and includes cart and green fees, use of the driving range, breakfast, lunch, a dinner buffet, drinks, and more. Closest to the pin, longest drive, putting contests and raffles are planned.

Registration forms are due by June 6, 2008, and may be obtained by contacting Jeff Robertson at 301.639.3737 or jeff@jarcmemorialfund.org. Payment information is included on the registration form. A number of sponsorship opportunities are also available.

All proceeds from the golf tournament benefit The Julie Ann Robertson Cashour Memorial Fund. In just seven years, The Julie Ann Robertson Cashour Memorial Golf Tournament has raised over $129,000.00, portions of which are used to award annual grants in keeping with the Fund’s charitable purpose. To date, grants have been awarded to many causes including the National Neurofibromatosis Foundation in New York, Kline Hospice House in Frederick, Children’s National Medical Center in Washington, the Brain Tumor Society, The NF Cure Project, and Neurofibromatosis Mid-Atlantic, Inc. for Camp New Friends.
